Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Opposing Colors
As often as we say “opposites attract, ” mostly we are not talking about colors. But opposites do attract, though they may not stay together for long periods.
On the color wheel, the opposites are:
- Blue/Orange
- Yellow/Purple
- Red/Green
I don’t think I’ve ever worn a combination of blue and orange or yellow with purple. Back when we had autumn, red and green were a popular combination and always are at Christmas.
Let me see what I can find!
Bluebird on the fence – the perfect blue and orange combination!
And then, there is are bluebirds, a perfect natural combination of orange (some say red, but it really IS orange). What man may forego, nature brings perfectly to life!

And finally, red and green!

And do it goes! Colors in nature and in our little world. Here’s to a vastly improved decade!

For a moment I thought the Mumford Dam looked a lot like Tully.

It is a beautiful place. Used to be the best place to get those autumn shots, but autumn seems to have gone away. I hope it comes back. I miss it.

We still had a pretty good fall up here on the NH border but yeah the warm up is keeping many of the leaves at bay.

Everything stayed green until the VERY end in late October when we had maybe three days of color, and they everything just fell. Last year was much the same, but we had almost a whole week. It’s our only good season. The rest are either too buggy and humid, cold and in the past, snowy, and then there’s no spring. You need to go either inland or south to get a true spring I think.

Yeah things are changing for sure. Last winter our snowfall was way down but my backyard flooded twice from the creek outback. That never happens. The rainfall in February was something

I love the Cardinal too and the Mumford River but man it’s difficult because they all have the ability to transport you to another place and time. I could look at them forever. They take on a new colour texture design every time. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photos.

Red and green were easy. And I was grateful to our bluebirds. The rest got a bit tricky, but as usual, it was also fun 🙂 Thank you!!

You found some good contrasts. I grew up with a mum that lived with constrasts. Sometimes her colour tastes could be a little embarrassing.

Yes, I can imagine. What works on a bird might not make a schoolgirl look her best 😀
